How are you measuring brew temperatures? Are the 200-202F shot
temperatures you are reporting averages, or peaks?

I've had a single basket with all but one of the holes blocked and a
K-type TC glued in; it works similarly to the Scace, allowing out
around 60mL in 30 seconds.

I'm not about twiddle my thumbs while the PID settles, I flush, then
brew when it's roughly right. Brew temp drops around 3F to 4F during
double shots, as on all stock Silvias.

If you don't flush before measuring, all thermometry comparisons are
off; you're running with a cold group; while I run with a hot one.
